Blockade Runner R1W11

Week 11 of Blockade Runner, released June 26th 2011.

Visit http://www.blockaderunnergame.com for the latest alpha build, info, forums, and more!

Inspired by Infiniminer and Minecraft's voxel engine, Blockade Runner is an ambitious indie game that will bring the span and scope of space to the genre.

Using the Gas/Liquid/Solid cellular automata algorithm built in Infiniminer and tested in Liquid Cubed (see link below), Blockade Runner will allow for fully operational, crewable, and destructible starships. If the fuel tanks are punctured, liquid fuel floods the halls. If the wall gets hit by a torpedo, hold your breath -- oxygen gets vacuumed into space. Ship lasered in half? Pray that you're on the better half. Every part of your starship will matter.

NOTE: Obsolete pricing model and information has been corrected in this blog post: http://www.blockaderunnergame.com/News/tabid/40/PostID/14/Clarified-Pricing-M...

Blockade Runner is in development for the PC and uses a custom engine built in XNA 3.1

@TheKaradom Same i love minecraft but, Some fans just get too protective of their fav game

[TheKaradom]

@dfsa1 The fanbase seriously makes me ashamed of liking Minecraft sometimes.

I can definitely see the appeal of this, but it's not for me. I know I'll prefer minecraft more.

You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon? She's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
